RENforshort Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut myself off everything unusual
I'm sorry if I made you tear up once or twice
Listen to your friends, you know they're always right
So take my heart once again
Hold it like you're innocent
Take my life like it's yours
We keep going like waves in motion
I jump in your ocean again
Stuck in the rhythm of blind devotion
Dancing, broken 'til when?
Every time I leave, you're calling up my phone
Asking me what time I think I will come home
Suss me out but the feeling's mutual
Both to blame, I'm willing to forget it all
So take my heart once again
Hold it like you're innocent
Take my life like it's yours
Don't leave me here to watch it pour
We keep going like waves in motion
I jump in your ocean again
Stuck in the rhythm of blind devotion
Dancing, broken 'til when?
I don't know what we've become
You just say it's all for fun
Everyone tells me to run away
Tried to ride the broken tides
I took the lows, you took the highs
I clipped my wings so you could fly alone
We keep going like waves in motion
I jump in your ocean again (jump in your ocean)
Stuck in the rhythm of blind devotion
Dancing, broken 'til when?
In RENforshort’s song “waves”, the lyrics detail a toxic relationship that is reminiscent of a turbulent ocean. The first lines describe how the singer’s partner always praises and compliments them, causing them to cut themselves off from anything different or unique. The singer then apologizes for making their partner upset in the past and advises them to listen to their friends. In the chorus, the singer compares their relationship to the constant and unpredictable motion of waves. They feel stuck in the rhythm of their blind devotion, dancing and broken until they don't know when the relationship will end.
The second verse is about the singer leaving their partner's house and being constantly called and questioned about when they will be coming back, which makes them feel uneasy. The singer acknowledges that they are both equally to blame for the unhealthy relationship and are willing to forget about the mistakes made. In the final verse, the singer expresses their uncertainty about what their relationship has become and their partner insists that the turmoil is all just for fun. The chorus repeats the motif of the waves, emphasizing the feeling of being stuck and unsure about the future.

Listen to your friends, you know they're always right
You should trust your friends because they give good advice
Take my heart once again
Love me again despite past mistakes
Hold it like you're innocent
Handle our relationship with care as if you haven't hurt me in the past

Dancing, broken 'til when?
I am putting on a facade of happiness despite feeling broken and uncertain about the future
Every time I leave, you're calling up my phone
You always want to know my whereabouts and miss me when I'm away
Asking me what time I think I will come home
You like to know when to expect me so you can prepare accordingly
Suss me out but the feeling's mutual
We are both trying to figure each other out and understand our feelings
Both to blame, I'm willing to forget it all
We both have made mistakes, but I am willing to move past them and start fresh
I don't know what we've become
I am uncertain about the current state of our relationship
You just say it's all for fun
You don't take our relationship as seriously as I do
Everyone tells me to run away
Others think I should leave our relationship and move on
Tried to ride the broken tides
I have struggled to navigate our unpredictable and unstable relationship
I took the lows, you took the highs
I have endured the difficult times in our relationship while you have enjoyed the good times
I clipped my wings so you could fly alone
I sacrificed parts of myself to help you succeed and be happy
